30 Minute wonders

(This is a story in memorial  of Waxeye, the little bloke I saved from death. Check my blog for more info. Also I'm doing this because NO ONE has done a fic on spikes Phoenix from the episode where he tries to find other dragons)

"So, what so Phoenix's eat anyway?" Spike asked keeping an eye on Pewee. (I'm pretty sure that's it's name) The little bird sat there looking up at spike calling for his attention.

Twilight was skipping through books about Equestrian birds. "Umm, there doesn't seem to be any mention on eating habits. But the Princess has a Phoenix! Surely somebody has done research on it." Twi threw a book against the wall in frustration, which scared Pewee and caused him to screech louder.

"Careful Twilight! You're scaring Pewee! Just send a letter to the princess or something. Geez." Spike picked up the screeching Phoenix and tried to calm it down, cradling it like a new born foal.

Twilights ears drooped. "Sorry Spike. But I'm sure we shouldn't bother the princess about something as little as this. Somepony has to have had a Phoenix at some point!" She went back to throwing books all over the place.

Spike only sighed. "Maybe she would enjoy some gems?" He was only reminded of his own hunger he had been pushing away to focus on the new born.

Twilight looked up from her books and gave that a thought. "Well, they do come from the same area as dragons... I guess it wouldn't hurt to try." With her horn glowing a basket full of different coloured gems came floating from their bedroom.

Spike walked over and picked up a fat ruby sitting on the top.

(10 minute mark)

Pewee stopped screeching instantly after seeing the bright gem. Spike sat Pewee down on the table and crushed the ruby with a gem crusher he got for his birthday. Spike brushed the sparkly dust into his claw and held some in front of Pewee.

Both Twilight and Spike sat in anticipation, waiting to the birds reaction.  Pewee took one look at the dust, and dived in shoving as much as she could into her mouth. All three onlookers sighed with relief. Wait, three?

"Aww, that's so cute! Where did you get a Phoenix, Spike?" Chirped Pinkie Pie. The sudden arrival of the mystic Pinkie scared the poor Phoenix and it sniffed some Ruby dust up it's nose.

I began to make 'Ahh' motions before letting out a sneeze that came with a wall of flame. It spread across the library scorching many books and scrolls.

"AHH! MY BOOKS! MY SCROLLS! MY POOR LIBRARY!" Yelled Twilight in shock of the sudden devastation.

(20 minute mark)

"Woah, she's got some flame." giggled Pinkie. Twilight was to busy gaping over her lost knowledge. She began to breath very deeply and powered up her horn, a very angry look on her face.

Before Spike could stop her, she sent a powerful beam of magic right at the little Phoenix. "TWILIGHT! NO!"

The beam hit Pewee right on the head and sent her flying across the library, and hit the wall with a thud. No one moved but just stared at the downed Phoenix.

For a while nothing happened, but then Pewee started growing, gaining in height and weight until she had reached the height of a small pony.

"Ow, that hurts." She spoke. The chins of all those in the room hit the floor as their mouths hanged open. "Why in Equestria would you do that? I have feeling too, you know."

Still no movement was noted among Twilight, Spike, and Pinkie. The once small Pewee picked herself off the ground and looked back at those watching her.

"How... This can't be possible..." Twilight only stammered before the great fully grown Phoenix before her.

The Phoenix looked at Spike. "Oh, and Pewee? Is that the best you can come up with? You may call me Flame from now on." Flame gave a smile at the dragon. "Ok, dad?"

(End. Well this got interesting. Consider this the origins of Flame. If you don't know who that is then read my current project: Lands of Time. Hope you enjoyed another brain burst)
